Janus by Boyfriend CD Review


The first K-Pop album I bought was Boyfriends Janus. It was released in December of 2012 and the single, take a hard guess? Janus! I watched some of Boyfriends “Hello Baby” on YouTube but I really didn’t like them that much. I thought they were very feminine but I fell in love with them during the music video for Janus. I guess the video showed a more masculine side of them.

I think Boyfriend has a bright future ahead of them. It has been two and a half years since they debuted and if they continue to work hard and develop their musical ability they will go far. Also since many of there members are still pretty young I think they are aiming more towards the younger fans then the older ones. But that’s my opinion. They don’t use the sex appeal like of some groups do.

Janus is a really good song and because of it I am a fan. But out of the other nine songs I would have to say that either  “Good Night” or “Stop It” are my favorite songs off of the CD. If you never listened to the CD go do right now! I did enjoy every song on the CD.

I bought the CD off of eBay for like fifteen dollars. It was the best fifteen dollars I ever spent. I bought one of those special edition random pick CD’s where I guess the CD comes in a sleeve that has one of the members on it. You don’t know whom you will receive until you open it and I received Young Min’s sleeve.

I really loved the cover. The black and white two sided lions are pretty cool. All of the photos in the booklet were of them dressed in their clothes from the Janus music video. I am not too sure if the booklet reflects the title song or what. If you know the answer to that let me know. 

Since Janus, I’ve listened to their other songs and I liked them. Am I die-hard Bestfriend? No, but I really like them. But it’s hard to really love a group when all but one member is a few years younger then me. I just feel creepy sometimes. I should be glad that my bias is Donghyun, the oldest member of the group.

Would I recommend Janus to Others: Yes. It was a good CD and I enjoyed every minute of it.
